Fecal Carriage and Molecular Characterization of Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacterales in the Pediatric Population in Qatar

ABSTRACT Whole-genome sequencing was used to characterize carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) strains recovered from rectal screening swab samples obtained from children at a tertiary-care pediatric hospital in Qatar during a 3-year period.A total of 72 CPE isolates recovered from 61 fecal carriers were characterized.Escherichia coli (47

The Effect of Binder and Waste Granular Materials (WGM) on the Shear Strength and Shear Resistance of Dredged Marine Soils (DMS)

Dredged marine soil (DMS) is considered as weak and soft problematic soil.It is possible to give this type of soil a second life Missing Link if only its geotechnical properties are improved.Infusing soil with solidification agent is the common practice of soil improvement.This study uses binder and waste granular material (WGM) such as cement, bot
